The rediscovery of Antiquity, after nearly a thousand years in which the magnificent achievements of Greece and Rome had been forgotten or even reviled, was a major force behind the unprecedented explosion of great talent and production of an overwhelming body of masterpieces that were to influence every artistic movement in Europe for the next five hundred years."
